Deputies said 41-year-old Nikki Landry and 54-year-old Harry Lefort were found dead in Landry’s apartment with multiple gunshot wounds. The bodies were found by a member of Landry’s family, detectives said.

Detectives said Lefort and Landry were acquaintances.

A motive has yet to be determined, but investigators said they do not believe it to be a robbery based on evidence.

The bodies were taken to the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office for autopsies.
